London, Nov 24 (IANS) The area of sea ice around Antarctica has barely changed in size in the past 100 years, researchers have found.

Research showed that if carbon dioxide levels in the atmosphere continue increasing as predicted, the giant East Antarctic ice sheet will m...

In the first study of its kind, researchers were able to gauge how levels of ice covering the land have changed over hundreds of thousands ...

Using state-of-the-art computer modelling, Golledge and his colleagues simulated the ice-sheet's response to a warming climate.

"If we lose these ice shelves, the Antarctic contribution to sea-level rise by 2100 will be nearer 40 centimetres," said Golledge.

Parkinson used microwave data collected by NASA and Department of Defence satellites for her study published in the Journal of Climate.

Days before the Copenhagen climate conference kicks off, a major study by a group of 100 international scientists has said that sea levels ...
